Blockchain asks the question: what if you couldn't regulate the banks through democracy?
Which would imply that people love banks and want them to be even more powerful.
Also if I want to trade anonymously there is always cash ( as least for now ), which is a simple, well understood, near universally accepted mechanism.
There are niches where decentralized banking is useful - but they are niches - and many of them are associated with dubious activity.
On top of that the current tech plaforms simply don't scale - the cost of replacing simple trusted parties with technology is huge.
